Hotel staff very attentive to 20 month old. Mixture of English, spanish and german staff.

For entertainment we only stayed for the minidisco which was very Spanish orientated but little one enjoyed it all the same.

Stayed for one week, the food choice was different every evening - two restaurants although we ate in the same one every night because it opened at 7.00 (the other one was 7.15) timing suited baby better.

Hotel Food poor, Main Swimming Pool water dirty, Pool Bar closes at 4pm every day, plenty of sun beds, Hotel Reception poor, room very clean and spacious.

Good location for the town, if you want a very quiet Holiday this is the place for you.

In general this is a nice hotel, good facilities, friendly staff and adequate rooms.

The shops and restaurants are a 10-15 minute stroll along a pleasant promenade which runs along the whole of Playa Blanca.

We didn't watch much of the in hotel Entertainment (this is a very Spanish/Italian orientated hotel and the shows are geared towards this)but what little we saw and understood was OK.

The breakfast buffet was OK, and there is a choice of smoking or non smoking areas completely separate from each other. But like all hotels after 14 days the choice of food was starting to get a bit monotonous. There is a snack bar by the main pool which is clean and offered a good variety of meals but closes too early. I can't comment on the evening meal as we were bed and breakfast.

Some of the rooms are off at a tangent to the main Hotel and overlook a smaller quieter pool, although no bar or snacks were available (a vending machine for water and fizzy drinks or a shop with very limited supplies) but some of these rooms back onto the road and might be a bit noisy. All the usual amenities (TV, shower, separate WC, safe, etc.) were provided.

The beach (Plava Dorada)is a 5 minute stroll to and is nice, but seems to get very crowded at this time of year.

This hotel is definitely worth a visit if you what a quite break with the option to walk to some nice bars and restaurants a nice beach and don't mind being totally outnumbered by Spanish or Italian holidaymakers.

Food was good with plenty of choice.

Room was a good size with lots of storage flor clothes. Location was ok with beach close by the hotel. Pools were very good with plenty of sun loungers available.

Reception staff were very friendly only down side was evening entertainment not good,.

If visiting hotel again it would not be for the evening entertainment.

The hotel itself is located near marina end of Playa Blanca. It is quite on a night but not too far to walk along the front to the bars and restaurants.

The rooms are of a good size with sep bathroom and loo. Mine had a balcony facing the sea which I can recommend rather than one facing the pool which are right where the bar area is.

The hotel food is not bad although not always as hot as I would have liked. The only problem came on a morning when the toasters do not work that well so you have to put it through 4 times to get it even slightly brown!

The band on a night are not bad although if you are there for the week the songs are the same over and over again.

In my opinion this is a very nice comfortable hotel. We upgraded to a suite which was massive. The hotel is spotless and staff very helpful and friendly. Hotel food is of buffet style and we found food was varied and always hot dishes were always piping hot or cold if they should have been cold. There is an outside area for dining which is very nice as you can listen to the band who play on the patio in the evenings. The Band were excellent and played until 11.pm followed by enterainment indoors which was of the usual things, Parrot show, Drifters, etc. The hotel is nicely situation directly on Playa Dorada Beach which is ideal for Kids. Drinks in the hotel are very reasonable as is the food at the pool restaurant during the day. All in all a very nice hotel.

I had the best holiday I've ever had at this hotel!

My memories might become rosier and rosier with time but the food was absolutely fantastic with diferent themes every night, we went to Mollies bar for a game of pool on the night and watched the entertainment only once.

It was ok but with two young children we wanted to be out and about.The little town nearby is handy for a stroll out. The room was perfect, the staff really friendly, the beach at the end of the path to the hotel and you can get a drink on thebeach from a little beach bar.

Not the wildest of places but the hotel won't let you down.
